Canada's #1 Martial Arts School

Free 30 Day Pass
30-DAY FREE PASS

To Get Your First Month Free...

At All Locations!

 

Doing something new takes courage.

That's why I'm extending you this special "30-DAY FREE PASS" offer when you join any of our schools this month.

Why am I doing this? The answer is really quite simple.

After offering classes for more than 35 years at our 25 schools I know one class cannot give you the true depth of Fang Shen Do Kung-Fu.

But once your experience the "Patenaude" difference, not only will you and/or your kids be excited about continuing, you'll be telling all your friends as well. That's a promise!

There are NO strings whatsoever. While other martial arts schools offer only one introductory class, often for as much as $30, at Patenaude Kung-Fu your first month really is FREE.

In 30 days, if we haven't exceeded ALL your expectations, we'll part friends... with no hard feelings, and no further obligation on your part.

I applaud your decision to join us at Patenaude Fang Shen Do Kung-Fu, and look forward to meeting you personally in the future.

Sincerely,
Sifu Martin Patenaude

P.S. This 30-DAY FREE PASS offer is good for all members of your family, so bring a friend or neighbor, too. It's nice to have a buddy to go to class with.

Training with Bruce Lee!

To really learn from a master, you must train with that master or someone who’s been very close to him.

That’s why in 1977 Jacques Patenaude began training with James W. DeMile, one of Bruce Lee’s original students.

More than just a student, DeMile was an actual training partner of Bruce Lee, helping him in the early stages of JKD development!

After 14 years of working with DeMile and becoming one of just 5 of his accredited Wing Chun Do schools in the world (and the first in Canada), Patenaude took the best of all styles, and created Fang Shen Do.

As you train with FSD you’ll gain access to many of the foundational elements of Bruce Lee’s own JKD as learned first-hand from his original training partner, DeMile, plus dynamic new elements added in the ensuing 17 years using advancement in Health & Fitness and Personal Development tools.

As you train in FSD you’ll quickly discover it’s a powerful combination that uniquely elevates your training to a level you’ve never experienced before!

Read more about the 12-year relationship with Bruce Lee’s
original student.


Here's a look at some of the different types of classes that we offer at our Patenaude Fang Shen Do Schools:

Adult Kung Fu Classes

We offer adult programs for all levels of skill and encourage the participation of women & men, parents & grandparents because everyone can benefit from the study of Martial Arts.

And whether you're brand new at martial arts or an experienced veteran, you'll find you're always treated with the utmost of respect.

"I started kung-fu training at 56 years old to get back in shape and hopefully regain the vitality of my youth. The classes quickly exceeded my expectations. My level of energy, my strength and flexibility have more than doubled. I’ve been part of martial arts for about 30 years and this style is the best I’ve seen."

Robert Waters,
59 year old business owner

You'll find that regular attendance in our special Adult Programs will result in stress reduction and greatly improved health. Regardless of your age, Patenaude's Kung-Fu offers a great way for you to train your body and mind through work in the martial arts. And you'll find it's a great way to bring out the best in you while greatly increasing your quality of life.

"I first joined Fang Shen Do Kung Fu when I was looking for a sporty activity to do together with my husband – something that was fun, but that was a challenge physically.  The first thing I noticed was the changes in my body. In the first class, I think I completed 3 pushups in a row. Later I could do closer to 50! The other thing I noticed and love is the change in my own perception of myself. My physical body is constantly challenged in FSD, but so is my mind and spirit!"

Tania W.

Our total focus in on the positive attributes everyone brings to class and within this environment, helping you expand your self-esteem and achieve higher goals. You'll find our Black Belt Martial Arts School emphasizes discipline and the value of persisting until goals are reached.

Kids Kung Fu Classes

Our award-winning children's program offers much more than just self-defense and physical agility. Combining an educational martial arts program together with a unique achievement program helps develop in your child the self discipline required to study more, leading to much greater levels of concentration at school. This in turn becomes quickly evident in the form of better grades.

"When I started Kung Fu, my marks were average and my self-esteem was not up to its full potential.  I thought I was healthy, until I started Kung Fu.  After my first class I developed a whole new idea about what health was.  Today my self esteem has grown significantly.  My school marks are now in the 90’s.  In Air Cadet’s, my marks have improved to a point where I feel confident that I will get the power scholarship and my pilot’s license."

Nathan M.

In addition, the Martial Arts develop your child physically. Our proprietary programs will rapidly help increase your child's speed, stamina, and strength. And he/she also will develop better balance, coordination, and timing, which in turn, help in all other sports and daily activities.

"Before joining Fang Shen Do, our son was very reserved and withdrawn. The changes that we and our extended family have seen in him are tremendous. He has gained confidence, will initiate conversations and looks at people’s faces instead of at the ground. He now sets goal for himself – such as earning his next sash – and works towards and achieves his goal.  He also set goals in other aspect of his life and achieves those as well."

Wendy V.

Martial Arts help promote leadership skills in you child, ultimately helping him/her succeed in life. Our individualized programs will teach your child about setting goals and developing the specific qualities that will help him/her become successful in school, college... and later in life.

And most of all, your child will love our high energy classes because they are full of excitement and fun! Perhaps the best part of our program, from a child's point of view, is just how much fun martial arts classes can be when taught correctly. All aspects of every class is designed to focus your child's energy in a positive and productive manner.

"I have played hockey and football since I am a kid, but no other activity has given me results like this type of training. I’ve lost 20 pounds at the scale but my muscle mass and definition has increased tremendously."

Rob Main,
24 years old

Martial Arts training at Patenaude's Kung-Fu will provide your child with the personal attention not found in no other schools. And this insures their rapid progress.

And you can feel secure in knowing that each class is taught by a highly trained instructor offering intense personal attention to each child's needs.

When you enroll your children at Patenaude's Kung-Fu, they are receiving the finest instruction available in Canada.

"I started Kung Fu about three years ago and love it.  I use to be one of those girls who would walk down the street looking at her feet and I would only speak when I was spoken to. Fang Shen Do has given me the confidence to lift my head up and see the world and talk to the people passing by. The knowledge that I have gained is incredible, I truly feel that if I had to defend myself I could do it – no question. The instructors are great and really know what they doing, they have a great attitude and make Kung Fu easy to enjoy. I fully intend to continue my training and “Tipping my cup to new knowledge” Thank you Sifu."

Erica R.

Family Kung Fu Classes

Family programs develop team spirit. And that's exactly what our programs are designed to do... develop and strengthen the unity of the family. When individuals work together as a team their individual talents will naturally improve.

It is more natural for parents and children to get along than to be at odds with each other. And you'll find our programs help to create a strong family bond by instilling a life-long loyalty. And because of this, your entire family will learn to live up to its full potential

"One dark night, as I approached my car, a young man jumped out of the back hatch and ran off. He had been trying to steal a radio and his sudden appearance left me frozen to the spot. Luckily he intended me no harm, but I decided to learn how to defend myself. When the Richmond Kung fu school offered a women’s self defense course, I attended with my daughter. By the end of the night, I felt more comfortable and a short time later, signed up to train regularly.  Now I feel I could adequately defend my family and myself!"
